Good news for Spokane! We’re getting a Bicycle Alliance of Washington office right here in our city, and a full-time staff person. Until now, the only Alliance office was in Seattle.
So why should we be excited about this? The new staffer will:
- Stay
on top of the many things going on that affect bicycling on our side of the state. - Communicate
regularly with decision makers so biking is always on the agenda. - Link
and leverage the impact of volunteer efforts. - Provide
direct programs that expand community support for biking and walking. - Contribute
to Spokane’s quality of life and economic growth to benefit everyone, not
just those who ride a bicycle.
What this means for you:
- You’ll know
when it’s time to
advocate so you can weigh in. - You’ll know
when it’s time to
have fun so you don’t miss out. - A
stronger eastern Washington base will increase the effectiveness of our legislative
advocacy in Olympia, with a positive effect on bicycling
everywhere in the state. - We’ll
have more and
better bicycling in Spokane County and eastern Washington.
Now the Alliance is asking for your help though. They would like you to become a member to help support the new Spokane office. Here’s a link to more information about the Bicycle Alliance of Washington and information on becoming a member.
